A capacity of leadership, I think, is only asking of others what you will ask of yourself.
Imagine sitting down with a former premier to chat about leadership and the lessons learned over a political career. That's exactly what happens in this episode of MuniCast, featuring Lorne Calvert, who served as Saskatchewan's 13th premier from 2001 to 2007. Calvert, also the former leader of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party, opens up about his journey in public service and the evolution of Saskatchewan over the past 15 years.
He candidly discusses how urgent matters often overshadow important long-term goals, a challenge he wishes he had understood earlier in his career. Throughout the conversation, Calvert underscores the significance of leveraging team strengths and learning from diverse viewpoints. He doesn't shy away from today's pressing issues either, touching on youth engagement, climate change, and the growing skepticism towards political institutions. His advice? Get involved in municipal governance where you can make a tangible difference in your community.
Whether you're a budding leader or a seasoned public servant, this episode offers a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt reflections from one of Saskatchewan's notable figures.
